Sprout won the sprout-00nation match yesterday with a dominant game. The 00Nation team didn't play except for Dumau. Sprout eliminated their opponent with a good team play. Today we have Outsiders-Rare Atom and MR-Sprout. Outsiders have better players than their opponent. But these things are unpredictable, as we saw yesterday. Now outsiders are 1-0 ahead of their opponent. After the Outsiders match is over, the MR-Sprout match will start. I think it will be a more competitive match.

I feel you with that loss as this week of League is just filled with so many upsets. Yesterday i'm still annoyed with how G2 lost against Mad Lions.  

I also watched the first game and I thought Goonsquad will get away with the first game as they continue snowballing during the mid-game and OG couldn't find a good team fight. That roshan timing really turned the momentum around after they got the aegis they immediately went mid and initiated a team fight, forced some buybacks, and eventually destroyed their base.

He was always good but also too driven and done a few stupid things along the way.  s1mple has actually cheated and been detected in csgo but not by VAC only ESL wire client I think it was.  They dont ban forever luckily as ESL is a big name and none of the other providers duplicated the ban including Valve and nobody else detected him cheating that I read about.  So s1mple got an ESL ban played outside of that for a while, he also tried to evade the esl ban with other accounts and was rewarded with an extended ban term again purely for ESL.
  I think it was 2 or 3 years while he was quite young, he teamed up with Hiko while serving the ban in other LAN and then even before the ban expired Hiko had him drafted into Liquid on the other side of the world  When ban expired he could goto the major as normal, very lucky he didnt end up life banned.  Obviously we know the Liquid thing was volatile but it made a great story, I think s1mple has advanced to give more respect since those days.

  Rules changed recently, I believe under 18 even if VAC gets a players account banned they may later be let off with expiry, I dont have the detail but might be after 5 years.  I think iBP should have been let off after 5 years because one person on that team wasnt even 18 at the time and was dragged into the mess but Valve seems no upside to appearing to be a soft touch I guess.    Tons more money in CSGO now, it should be quite minor for any regular league I read the pacific region suffers problems but I miss most of those games.  
  I have personally played vs pro players who cheat (not recent), the demo was a joke but they were not detected by ESEA or valve etc.   A observer or those guys who manage or view players at LAN, they had to do it manually and then other org declined them.  Years later they did detect him (a few months past my having him in my game demo/matches) but he was already banished in effect, s1mple was super lucky

That game of Fnatic and SMG.

What a shame on Fnatic, it seems like a throw game for them and lookin' easy that they've beaten up by SMG.

Two games in a row, they've been completely dominated by them. I don't know if they're testing out and each game should be as important as it is because they're not yet secured for the Arlington major.

So here is the thing, I know most of us feels that the china region DPC is pretty sussy with PSG.LGD not owning the tournament but I definitely cant hold my urge to not bet on this huge match tomorrow.

PSG.LGD vs Xtreme Gaming

Taking classic outright winner for the game, I really hope PSG.LGD will choke on this game somehow. They've done that on the other game so yeah good chances that they might do it again tomorrow

When a person cheats, if he knows it is easy, he will continue to cheat. Woro2k is not playing a normal game. He plays very confidently in the game as if he knows his places. There are many videos of him cheating on Youtube. I also don't think his teammates are clean, especially jL and redstar. I think these players need to be investigated as soon as possible.

I really agree with you about it. When I learned about woro2k was a cheater but still playing in official tournaments like this one I was surprised a lot. I really don't know how they can give this kind of players another chance. If woro2k cheated in another game then it wouldn't be a problem but he did it in CS GO. For example as far as I know s1mple also cheated in CS 1.6 but he was lucky that CS GO was released and he got his second chance by this. He has a pure talent now though.

I will bet for League of Legends Champions Korea or LCK 2022 highlighted in green are my picks

Damwon Gaming VS Nongshim Redforce

DWG KIA or Damwon is pretty much a great team and has great stats and teams that they have brought down were kt Rolster, SANDBOX, and Brion Blade, and have perished a loss over T1 and Gen G. and their Rooster has consisted of Jang Ha-gwon (Nuguri) Kim Geon-bu (Canyon) Heo Su (ShowMaker) Seo Dae-Gil (deokdam) Kim Hyeong-Gyu (Kellin) and sub player Noh Tae-Yoon (Burdol) while team Redforce has    Kim Chang-dong (Canna) Lee Jin-hyeok (Dread) Gwak Bo-Seong (Bdd) Jang Yong-jun (ghost) Lee Sang-ho (Effort) and their Sub player Jeong Yoon-su (Peter) stake odds are 1.23 for Damwon while 3.85 for Redforce, pretty much for this game I think Damwon will show their true nature and will eat up Nongshim Redforce, this fight could go 1st win for Damwon then Redforce might retaliate then a game win for Damwon, I think this two teams can be very close, but again, Damwon Gaming will win this,

kt Rolster VS Hanwha Life Esports

For this particular game, I think these two teams are surely the worst of the bunch of the teams in LCK, now kt Rolster consisted of players Kim Kwang-hee (Rascal) Moon Woo-chan (Cuzz) Lee Ga-eul (Aria) Lee Dae-kwang (VicLa) Kim Ha-ram (Aiming) Kim Jeong-min (Life) and their sub/support Kim Min-seong (GIDEON) while Hanwha Life has Lee Dong-ju (DuDu) Kim Jang-gyeom (OnFleek) Kim Hong-jo (Karis) Lee Jae-hoon (SamD) Oh Hyo-seong (Vsta) and their Sub player Kim Jeong-hyeon (Willer) for now Hanwha Life Esports does have any wins yet, while kt Rolster is struggling to get a win, but for me, I think that can be chance, over this game could be very close, but for me kt Rolster is my pick,

In the Furia-00Nation match, 00Nation managed to win with the performance of dumau and latto. Another interesting result for me. I honestly thought furia would win. Because 00Nation started from scratch by transferring 3 players. I thought it would be an adjustment period, but it wasn't. Coldzera didn't even need to play.

The other match ended with another strange result. Nobody thought rare atom would beat mibr. While we had a comfortable win on the map they picked, it was a challenging match on the other map.

In the MIBR-Rare decider match in group B, Rare got an easy win with Inferno pick in the first map. A total of 60 rounds were played in the second map. Mibr couldn't find the chance to win that one, and in the end Rare won the second map and became the side to the playoffs. I was highly likely to win Mibr in the Overpass map, but the Rare team is obviously well prepared. 60 rounds was really too much, everyone wanted someone to win and the match to be over

and i'm off to a bad start today, wasted a free bet adding JDG, their 6-0 winning streak comes to an end after losing to one of the worst teams in the summer split 



I'll prolly go with a double in the LEC, Vitality + Mad Lions to win @1.9, not too shabby... later today, El Clasico, G2 v Fnatic 🔥🔥 rooting for caPs here

What a beautiful Dota game for OG vs Goonsquad! This is the kind of game that I love to watch. The advantage keeps changing in both team throughout the game and I Goonsquad already got OG during there clash on OG bottom and get the barracks. The timing of Roshan just go in favor to OG which Roshan spawn exactly when Jaggernaut scout it. Hahaha. Valve wants to win OG on game1 but I will bet for Goonsquad on Game 2 since they almost defeated OG if Roshan didn’t spawn at that time since they will have a chance to contest it and continue there lead.

Qualifying and deciding matches today in esl challenger tournament. 00Nation vs Furia continues. 00Nation has a new team. I think they need some time, Furia will eliminate 00Nation.

I see RareAtom-Mibr as a match that both sides can win. But mibr is more likely to win, of course.

The other match will be between sprout and the winner of 00nation/furia. Furia will not make a mistake this time. I think he will eliminate Sprout and continue in the tournament.

Gaimin Gladiator is having the worst DPC tournament that they ever had by having only one win against Goonsquad which has a bad records too. I think the 2 remaining games for Team Secret will be manageable. And also even though they didn’t manage to get enough DPC points to qualify TI, There’s still a wildcard round for teams like them to enter the TI so the upcoming majors is not really there only chance and I know they are relying too on wildcard to get the TI ticket since they decided to change roster halfway there and they know the repercussions for that adjustment and will cost them DPC points from majors.

Intel Extrem Masters Cologone 2022 Play-In stages are coming up next week with tons of nice matches to look forward to. With best of 1 matches there isn't much room to make mistakes. For the first games on Tuesday I will stick with save games to only make a smaller profit. Astralis vs 00Nation looks like one of those save games to me. Even though I like the Brazilian team and coldzera and taco are two very skilled players, I don't think they have any chance to win against Astralis. The second match I bet on is BIG vs Order, should also be a save win for BIG. Have been a long time fan of BIG and hope they will get far in the tournament. To me there is no real question that Astralis and BIG are not going to qualify for the main event. The last bet I will put on Vitality in the match against TYLOO, it should be another good win for Vitality. TYLOO is just not as good as the rest of the other teams, out of their last few competitive matches they lost most of them.

Team Secret needs to win their last two remaining games and they can qualify to Arlington. And their performance in Arlington decides their TI fate.

Looking at the schedule. Team Secret really has a serious chance to still qualify in Arlington. Team Liquid will be underdogs against OG and around 50/50 against Entity. Team Secret will be very much affected by the last games of Team Liquid and goonsquad.



 

In Ex-ML, woro2k gets at least 20 kills every match. This player was once known for cheating. There are a lot of videos circulating on the internet. Incredibly, he still continues his e-sports career. Ex-ML also has one or two other names besides woro2k playing very strangely. One of them is redstar and the other is jL. As far as I know, redstar was kicked out of the faceit pro league. They are not clean and good players but they managed to beat fnatic yesterday. And today they beat eternal fire.

There are games right now on League of Legends Champions Korea and it is already settled, right now scheduled for this July 1,

T1 VS DRX - SCORE 2 - 0

I haven't made my bet because I am focused on DOTA 2 but surely I have seen this team in the past and T1 is really amazing with Faker still on the team since 2014, but right now T1 team roster consists of Zeus, Oner, Gumayusi, Keria, Polt, moment and Faker, and ever since the LCK 2022 started they only have 1 lost and that is against Kwangdong Freecs on June 29, but against DRX it was a very one-sided game, and on overall stats they have most golds, most kills, most towers, and most Inhibitors, on game 1 while on game 2 they still have the overall stats from Gold, kills, tower and inhibitors While DRX doesn't really stand a chance, so I really feel sorry for them,

kt Rolster VS Damwon - SCORE 0 - 2

I guess it is safe to say that Damwon still has a good record defeated 2 times by Gen. G and T1 it still has a pretty much solid foundation and they have shown it in this game by having a dominated game, it was pretty much a one-sided game, against kt Rolster,  just like T1 they have the most stats on game 1 from Gold, Kills, tower, and Inhibitor, and game 2 was pretty much not different, gaining much Gold, Kills, Tower, and Inhibitor for the game, was truly awesome,

ex-MAD Lions continue to be Eternal Fire's nightmare. Today they had a BO3 game against each other in the Elisa Invitational Spring 2022 tournament. Eternal Fire were invited to this round while their opponent reached this stage by eliminating Apeks. Before this game, Eternal Fire lost to them two times by 2-0 and 2-1. Things didn't change here too and Eternal Fire lost again by 2-1. They are out of the tournament now. Maybe this isn't one of the biggest tournaments but they really need to get better as soon as possible. They have a good potential and they should benefit from that.

If you can do it once, then you really can do it twice... BIG defeated FaZe not just once, but twice in the competition. The first group decider match between both sides that BIG won should have been enough indication that it could happen all over again, and it sure did.

Let's see what Cologne would have in store for us in coming weeks.




Taking NaVi now to win after losing the first map seems more valuable than the -1.5 Handicap pre-game, but just like ArrDee said; Who Woulda Thought ?
